Impressed with Optimum Car (spray) Wax

[Vegas Transplant]

I have been wrong before... using GEEK terminology to describe what I'm experiencing. My Sebing only sweats on the tunk, and the Lac only sweats on the roof...no other panels. No other products touch my vehicles now except Optimum.

I once had a bad misconception of 'the lotus effect' until I asked the forum for clarity.

Both OCW and PB QD+ both "ghost" or "sweat" when applied OVER my current LSP (Dodo PH Pro). PB Spray and Gloss & Optimum QD do not. That doesn't mean the "ghosters" are bad products, just that there is likely an incompatibility. Remember, OCW is no quick detailer, but a stand alone high quality LSP. We're kind of using it that way because it's so easy to use.

OCW looks better and has less/no streaking if actually "buffed to a shine" instead of just wiped off like a quick detailer. I like to use one MF to spread the product evenly over the panel, then another to buff. The one I buff with may get flipped a couple of times depending on how the panel looks. Streaks can be cleaned up by going over the panel with a waterdampened towel followed by a second dry MF if they occur.



You're welcome. They won't stain if that's what you mean, but they will most likely be there until your next wash. Any area of over application will dry that way if not leveled. A cool panel will allow the product to self level unless too much is applied. There is only so much surface for the polymers to bond to and then they bond to each other resulting in the streaks you see. All streaks are is an area where too much product sits and clouds the clarity due to the thickness.
